Project: TXDST Website Redesign
Client /Prof: TXDST
Completion Status: To be finished fall 2023 semester
Staff Guidance: Maddy
Description: Preparing a PDF for client review.
Last week, I worked on a PDF presentation of our latest progress on the TXDST redesign. It was fairly straightforward, making sure to consider how one would view static images of a website as opposed to scrolling through the live site.
Project: UTFC Greenscreen
Client /Prof: Internal
Completion Status: Ongoing
Staff Guidance: Maddy
Description: Finding original source of images and sourcing new public domain images.
I kept working on UTFC image sourcing last week, moving onto Course 2. The original photos are becoming more difficult to find, but it’s been interesting to find replacement images on Unsplash and Pexels. This past week, I worked on one module where none of the photos were in the public domain and/or covered by the Creative Commons license, so I spent some time looking for new, similar images to replace them. The next step is to get the new images approved by the UTFC team so that they can go into the new greenscreens.
Okay, this was something I should have updated on here last week, but forgot. And I only worked 1 day since our last meeting, so…
Maddy asked me to replace the sky on this photo of Kigali.
I wondered how to do this for a bit, but it turns out photoshop has a “replace sky” tool. Turned out nice!
Here is Leilani in front of it:

UTFC Backdrop Edits
Project: Backdrop Edits
Notes: This week, I went back into the studio backdrops and re-edited a few of the images.
UTFC Studio Testing
Project: Backdrop Color Testing
Notes: Since UTFC plans on recording its lectures this summer, I had the opportunity to go inside the recording studio to test backdrops for the lecturer. I could see the backdrops in real time and edit them to the correct display such as altering contrast and saturation inside Photoshop. So far we’re almost done with the first course for recording. This time around Valerie and I went in to look over specific backdrops that needed some re-editing.
During my 6th week as STA I continued my web development project for the university’s Psychology Labs. Using the WordPress Multisite, I drafted a new template for the Developmental Behavior Genetics Lab. Afterwards, I reached out to the client for their approval. Below are some screenshots of my work.

I also completed the CSS Box Models chapter from Interneting is Hard.
